8th Annual Hoboken Comedy Festival taking comedy submissions

In hopes to grow the New Talent capabilities, the Hoboken Comedy Festival will also be adding a new talent showcase on the final day of the festival to encourage a larger number of performers to participate in this year's festival. While there will be no additional performances or selected winners on this particular showcase, there will be judges and bookers at that show to network to.
The 8th Annual Hoboken Comedy Festival will consist of 12 shows from September 25th to October 1st, with October 1st being a vendor-friendly, dog-friendly, family-friendly Indoor/Outdoor comedy block party with additional new talent shows, live podcasts, and two live comedy shows ending the festivities.
Not only does the Hoboken Comedy Festival hope to bring laughs to the community in October, they hope to tighten the community that supports the festival by giving back. Each year the Hoboken Comedy Festival selects a charity to support by donating $1 per ticket and accepting donations during all performances and on their website. For the third year in a row the Hoboken Comedy Festival is very proud to support the Liberty Humane Society --a non-profit animal shelter dedicated to promoting animal welfare who provides animal sheltering, behavioral therapy and adoption services. Each year the Festival creates a series of photographs with famous comedians and adoptable dogs to help promote the upcoming festival and LHS Donations.
The deadline to submit for new talent performers is September 15th and comes with a $30 fee and reminder to include a link to their 6-minute performance.
The festival will take place over seven days in six different venues and showcase some of the most prolific talent in the comedy industry today.
The Hoboken Comedy Festival proves for the eighth year in a row that Hoboken residents don’t need to cross rivers to enjoy a great comedy experience. The aim of the festival is to encourage comedic art and performance in Hoboken and offer entertainment close to resident's doorsteps. It's a celebration of the growing opportunity for great comedy in Hoboken for years to come.
